For mobile devises: download the Grupio app from App Store, Google Play etc, and then search for the conference's name ("Action" should make it appear in the search result).

It is possible to make your own schedule. Another important feature of the app is that anyone can create his or hers own profile, in order to be visible for the other participants and also interact. Read more about the features at Grupio's own website (Grupio Standard Pro). http://www.grupio.com/how-it-works.html
